Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid is about a girl from the island of Antigua and Barbuda who is raised in a household with both of her parents. Throughout the text, they show Annie’s coming of age, including issues at home and conflicting influences.

Tourists view Antigua as a utopic resort that serves as an escape from the dullness of a routinely
Jane King stated in her essay entitled “A Small Place Writes Back” that “A Small Place begins with Jamaica Kincaid placing herself in a unique position able to understand the tourist and the Antiguan and despise both while identifying with neither” (895).

In her narrative
Tourism is something seen as common and in most cases, good for the economy as well as for a person in need of a vacation. From one person’s point of view, it would seem as if nothing was ever wrong with tourism. However, if one was to read A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid, one might see a different approach to the idea of tourism. Through exploring the problems of the island of Antigua, Kincaid shows one the ways in which tourism obscures the island's struggles. In this sense, A Small Place tells

My theory is that a country's position in something such as the Olympics or Commonwealth Games is proportional to that country's population size. I say this because I believe that if a country has a large population, there will be more potential

(Near the Philippines and the China Sea, hurricanes are called typhoons.) As the moisture evaporates it rises until enormous amounts of heated moist air are twisted high in the atmosphere. The winds begin to circle counterclockwise north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator. The relatively peaceful center of the hurricane is called the
